I know we're a week out from Google I/O, but I've really been thinking a lot about how much more focused Google was this year. AI isn't just a tool that can sometimes help you. For Google, AI is the future of the company. And its products reflect as such. www.cnet.com/tech/service... via @cnet.com

This is hardly the first footage the world has seen of people burning due to Israeli bombings of civilian locations. These images get implanted to the mind. Truly horrific. www.middleeasteye.net/news/gaza-ch...

A man pulled up to a gas station to fill up his truck. ICE agents surrounded him and took him away. But his children were left behind. “They arrested someone,” witness said. “They left the children inside the truck.” www.sfgate.com/centralcoast...

This is unacceptable for a country that has press freedom in its constitution. "The administration of former US President Joe Biden had 'concluded early on that an Israeli soldier had intentionally targeted her, but that conclusion was overruled internally.'" www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/5/...

I understand that Game Key cards are cheaper to produce because it's pretty much just a license on an almost blank memory card. But this is a 3DS game. Surely, the game file can't be that big.

Getting laid off is really starting to sink in and bum me out today — Friday was my first day of being unemployed, but I had previously taken that day off, lol — so to make myself feel better, I and my wife donated to the layoff fund. It's at 84%... help out if you can!

"Independent journalists like @marisakabas.bsky.social uncovering major scoops are something of an existential threat to mainstream media’s business model, because they prove that you don’t need to spend millions of dollars to report the news."
